Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Fleet and vehicle management group, LeasePlan, has contracted Verizon to provide all of the company’s global communications services, including in its Australian business, in a deal which will link more than six thousand of its employees across 30 countries.
Under the agreement, LeasePlan, which is
currently a Verizon Business managed private IP service customer, will
use Verizon ethernet private line services to exchange data across key
locations, as well as Verizon Internet dedicated services for
high-bandwidth dedicated connections to Verizon’s global IP network.
LeasePlan has also co-located some of its core servers in multiple
Verizon Business data centres around the world.
According to Stuart Curzon, group vice president for international
sales for Verizon Business EMEA, consolidating these services with a
single provider will help LeasePlan -- which manages a fleet of more
than 1.4 million vehicles and is expanding globally – “drive growth
while saving costs.”
“LeasePlan’s choice of Verizon Business to help support this next phase
of its business development is a testament to the strength of the
relationships that we build with our customers. We focus on delivering
comprehensive, advanced communications and IT solutions tailored to
help multinational corporations achieve their business goals and look
forward to helping LeasePlan drive its global business success.”
LeasePlan manager sourcing, Bart van den Heuvel, said that “working
with Verizon Business, we benefit from state-of-the-art solutions
tailored to our specific business needs, backed up with extensive
support and expertise. Most importantly, Verizon Business was able to
offer a complete communications solution, from the network itself
through security and added-value solutions, such as conferencing, in a
single, seamless package.”
van den Heuvel said that to support collaboration across the company’s
mobile workforce, LeasePlan is leveraging Verizon’s enterprise mobility
solutions so employees can remotely access the company’s core
information network, and rely on Verizon audio and net conferencing
solutions to help boost cross-regional employee productivity.
